Chapter 58: Toad Breathing
Cheng Ming pondered for a moment, his expression grave as he said, "Ah Qing, I've heard that Gao Sheng from Pine Breeze Martial Hall has been in secluded training ever since the martial examination, reportedly attempting his third breakthrough. You must be extremely careful."
"So soon?"
A trace of surprise flashed through Chen Qing's eyes, but he quickly composed himself.
Gao Sheng's natural talent had always surpassed Qin Lie's, and now with Pine Breeze Hall Master Shi Wenshan's full support and cultivation, rapid progress was only natural.
Such swift advancement in training was entirely reasonable.
His thoughts raced: The old and new grudges between Pine Breeze Martial Hall and Zhou's courtyard had long become an irreconcilable knot with no possibility of resolution.
Gao Sheng had been able to cripple Qin Lie on the martial examination platform. Once he found an opportunity, he would certainly show no mercy when dealing with Chen Qing himself. The earlier provocation from that Zhu Lian'er was clear proof of this. For Chen Qing, this was undoubtedly a lurking threat.
"I must be more careful from now on, not giving Pine Breeze Martial Hall any opportunity to exploit, lest I repeat Qin Lie's fate."
No one knew what methods the people from Pine Breeze Martial Hall might employ. If they resorted to underhanded tactics, the slightest carelessness could lead to complete ruin.
